Use this inspirational resource to engage in Pro-Black teaching with young children as an antidote to endemic anti-Black racism in schools and society. Drawing from a critical case study of K-3 teachers who use Pro-Black teaching in their daily instruction, this important book puts forth positive perspectives regarding Blackness and Black people that are not evident in most educational settings. An easy-to-understand text provides evidence-based curriculum examples, pedagogies, and resources; demonstrates how teachers can achieve Pro-Black teaching while also addressing curricular standards and other demands on their time; and explains the benefit of Pro-Black teaching for all children. The authors draw from decades of practice and research by Black scholars (e.g., Asa Hilliard, Janice Hale, Amos Wilson) to position racial identities as a key part of Black children's development. They center African Diaspora literacy as a Pro-Black pedagogy to ensure that Black children are competent in their own culture as well as in global cultures. Pro-Blackness in Early Childhood Education celebrates the agency, resistance, everyday lives, and joy of Black people. Book Features:Demonstrates how Pro-Blackness can be used to interrupt ethnocide practices that threaten Black children's culture and spirits. Provides guidance for implementing and sustaining Pro-Black instruction, with accessible examples of curriculum and instruction. Focuses on Pro-Blackness rather than anti-Blackness.Includes examples of K-3 lessons from Drs. Diaspora curriculum that have been used in majority Black, majority White, and racially mixed classrooms.

Teacher Preparation as Social Activism at Historically Black Colleges and Universities offers new insights into the historical educational perspectives of teacher preparation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).Centering insightful research that chronicles the contributions of teacher preparation at HBCUs, it has a specific focus on activism in the form of fugitive pedagogy, social activism, organizing, and inclusive educational practices. It highlights and explores the ways in which such programs developed technical pedagogical skills for teaching and learning while leveraging society as an incubator to engage students in practices necessary to destabilize oppressive systems. The chapter authors examine historical social movements at the intersection of teacher preparation at HBCUs and race to impact societal change over time and explore teacher preparation at HBCUs as tools for activism, social justice, and liberatory practices.Reimagining educational history through the context of race relations and its contributing factors to the educational ecosystem, this significant contribution to the body of research on HBCUs will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in teacher education, history of education, race and ethnic studies, urban studies, and higher education.
